Fuengirola

High in the hills at the back of Fuengirola is the Buddhist Monument, easily reachable by local bus services from resorts along the coast. From here you have stunning views of not only the coast line but also the countryside surrounding Fuengirola.
Along with Torremolinos, Fuengirola was one of the original Costa's holiday resorts, and is still very popular these days with many Europeans. Many of who have a holiday home or even live here permanently.
The fishing industry here is still thriving and the fish can be seen unloaded and sold daily in the port.
Fuengirola is where one of the biggest markets on the coast is held, this can be found on the feria ground (quite near the train station) every Sunday.

Fuengirola - Buddhist Monument

If you are travelling along the road between Benalmadena and Fuengirola, and look up to the mountains at the back of the resorts you will see what is the biggest and most stunning monument for miles around. This is the Buddhist Stuppa and is quite a relatively new sight in this area, only built in 2004. Local buses run up to the monument, and once there you can take a look inside at all the treasures housed in the base. You can also see amazing views of the country side and coast.
